Presstv.com/ 43 killed in Bomb blast in Sana’a, Yemen

SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association) – At least 43 people have been killed in a bomb attack in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.

The attack, which targeted the anti-government protesters in Tahrir Square in central Sana’a, left many others, including several children, injured.

The deadly unrest erupted after Takfiri groups, backed by government forces, launched similar attacks on Ansarullah revolutionaries.

Yemen has been the scene of violent clashes between Ansarullah revolutionaries and Salafists over the past weeks.

Ansarullah activists, also known as Houthis, have been staging demonstrations in the capital for more than a month, demanding resignation of the government over what they call its corruption and marginalization of the Shia community in Yemen.

The movement played a major role in the popular uprising that forced the former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to step down after more than 33 years in power.
